Chapter 138 - Bad News

"No!" Long Ying looked at Yu Yan and resolutely shook his head.

"That's the only option, Long Ying! I want to stay in your world, so let me completely be part of the underworld." Yu Yan looked at Long Ying sharply. She knew that her decision today would change her future… but she had made her decision.

If to stay with him she had to sacrifice her normal life, she would be willing to do it.

Long Ying closed his eyes for a moment and stared deeply at the woman whom he loved so much. Her determination was shown clearly on her eyes but it was the same eyes filled with determination that made him uncomfortable. He knew very well what it meant to train like him.

He had trained ever since he was young, constantly tempering his body and mind to make sure that he could fulfil the role as the heir of Dragon Clan. For Yu Yan to be as strong as him, the chance was slim.

"Are you serious, Yan'er?"

"Yes!"

"The training will be harsher than the morning training you have so far. At the same time, you won't be able to return back to your normal life. Don't you dream to reach the top and become a manager?"

Yu Yan's eyes flashed. She had once told Long Ying about her dream when she was in high school. Her grandfather had taught her a lot about finance, which made her dreamt to become a finance manager in a company who would be the one to handle all the expenditure.

However, since she couldn't even take the related course due to her sister interfering, she had started to give up on her dream. She learnt on her free time but she didn't dare to dream and only started her career slowly from the bottom.

"My dream had changed. Why do you even trust the word of a high school student?" Yu Yan countered.

Long Ying could clearly see that Yu Yan was lying. Spending three years in high school with her had taught him a lot about her. Whenever she was lying, she would definitely avert her eyes from him.

"Yan'er…"

"Boss, isn't it fine?" San Xia finally opened her mouth. All this time, she and the others were listening from the other room. An Lin had fallen asleep at some point because he was still recovering but An Luo had woken up after some rest. San Xia and Lan Huo were also awake.

The three of them were waiting and even if they had no intention to listen in to Long Ying and Yu Yan's conversation, their martial arts allowed them to listen in to these two even at a distance away. After seeing Long Ying being so hesitant, San Xia was finally unable to hold it in.

"San Xia!"

"What? I'm just saying that Madam can train if she wants. She had been training so far and the result was quite good. What makes you think that she won't be able to catch up?" San Xia glared at her husband. "She had some foundation from dancing in her early age, so her body is quite flexible."

Yu Yan had some training when she was in elementary school in terms of dancing, but her result was not that good. It was only good enough that she didn't tangle her legs with each other when she moved around.

An Luo looked at his wife helplessly. Why did she always choose to barge in during the worst time possible, ah?

"San Xia is right. I should be fine." Yu Yan looked at Long Ying with hopeful gazes.

Seeing her like this, Long Ying knew that he wouldn't be able to refuse. There were many things he wanted to say to her but he knew that she would stick with her decision and asked for him to allow her to train in the training place.

"Alright, but you have to recover first."

"Yes!" Yu Yan smiled. She tugged Long Ying's sleeve. "Sleep here with me."

San Xia was stunned. "Madam is so wild!"

"Can you stop your atrocious imagination?" An Luo was speechless. He proceeded to drag his wife away before Long Ying decided to punish her again because of her unfiltered mouth.

Long Ying arched his eyebrows.

"Lie down here. It's hard to sleep in this position, so I want you to accompany me." Yu Yan rephrased her request. Her large eyes were staring at Long Ying with hopeful expression. "You have time, right?"

"I do."

In fact, even if he didn't have any time and there were businesses to take care, he would hand it over to others first. The first priority in his list was to accompany his wife and to make sure that she was fine. The others could be thrown to the back and only taken care when there was time in the future.

Slowly, Long Ying took off his shoes and lied down next to Yu Yan. The bed was not that big, so he propped Yu Yan lightly to move her a bit then put his hand below her head. His other hand carefully hug his wife.

"Sleep."

"You too." Yu Yan snuggled to Long Ying's embrace. Perhaps due to the fact that she was so tired, she went to sleep almost immediately. Her rhythmical breathing could be heard in the room. 

Long Ying hadn't slept in for an entire day because he was worrying about Yu Yan. Now knowing that she would be fine, Long Ying could finally set his heart at ease and slept soundly.

Outside, Lan Huo could definitely sense that the two of them had fallen asleep. He would not dare to disturb them in the slightest bit.

On the other hand, San Xia looked at her husband. "Why do you have to stop me?"

"They're sleeping." An Luo narrowed his eyes. "And since they're fine here, we need to finish our work. Boss will want to make sure that everything is fine when he returns back to work."

"There's already Uncle Long. Is our presences that necessary?" San Xia pursed her lips, clearly dissatisfied.

"Do you want to stay here and watch the dog food when they wake up? Relax, the security in this hospital is already the best. Not even an ant can enter without alarming the others."

San Xia was speechless. Who would be insane enough to watch ants in this place?

But after some persuasion, she agreed with her husband's words. It would do them no good to just stay here and do nothing. The couple were tired and need to recover from their fatigue. It would take some time before they wake up.

"In that case, let's kick some $%^&*!"

An Luo sighed, thinking that his wife was truly uncontrollable. One would not think of her as someone who had good education just based on the way she kept on cursing others and didn't even filter her words.

Both Long Ying and Yu Yan slept for the entire afternoon. When Long Ying woke up again, it was already late at night. He narrowed his eyes and swiftly took his phone as it rang once. There was no way he would let the call disturb his sleeping wife.

"Long Ying."

"What is it, Long Shu Ting?" Even though Long Ying didn't see the name of the caller when he picked up the phone, he still knew that it was his brother from the voice.

"There's a fallout between Long Family and Xiao Family. It might get busy in Dragon Clan."

"Tell Uncle about it. I'm handing the clan matters temporarily to him."

Long Shu Ting was silent for two seconds. "Long Shu Xing will not let you off if he knows that you're handing the clan to Uncle again."

"If he wants to bother me, he had to make sure that he had the capabilities to do that," Long Ying sneered. Long Shu Xing, his second brother, was someone who often created trouble for the family. He was actually quite capable but when compared to the first brother, his performance clearly didn't amount much.

It was to the point that there were a lot of people who would even gossips that the two brothers' difference was simply too much. 

"Just be careful."

"I will."

The call was disconnected. In the darkness, Long Ying stayed still while watching Yu Yan in his arms. After some time, she stirred and looked up. Her face turned slightly red.

"Awake?"

"Why don't you wake me up if you're already up?" Yu Yan asked back.

Long Ying merely smiled. "I don't want to bother you when you're sleeping so soundly. Eat first before you sleep again. Your stomach must be empty."

"Right…"

"I'll call Lan Huo. You can only eat porridge for the time being. Just bear with it until we go out of the hospital, ok?"

"Yes~."

Long Ying called Lan Huo and the latter brought a bowl of porridge in. Yu Yan ate first before she slept again, clearly feeling tired.
